stop start INFINITI QX60 2015 Owner's Manual

Steps1. Adjust the seat as outlined in the “Seats” section of the Owner’s Manual. Sit upright,
leaning against the seat back, and centered
on the seat cushion with your feet comfort-
ably extended to the floor.
2. Make sure there are no objects on the occu- pant’s lap.
3. Fasten the seat belt as outlined in the “Seat belts” section of the Owner’s Manual.
4. Remain in this position for 30 seconds al- lowing the system to classify the passenger
before the vehicle is put into motion.
5. Ensure proper classification by checking the passenger air bag status light.
NOTE:
This vehicle’s occupant classification sys-
tem locks the classification during driving
so it is important that you confirm that the
passenger is properly classified prior to
driving. Also, the occupant classification
system may recalculate the weight of the
occupant when the vehicle comes to a stop
(i.e. stop light, stop sign etc.) , so front pas-
senger seat occupants should continue to
remain seated as outlined above. Troubleshooting
If you think the passenger air bag status light is
incorrect:
1. If the light is ON with no front passenger and no objects on the front passenger seat:
This may be due to the following conditions that
may be interfering with the weight sensors: ● An object weighing over 2.2 lbs (1 kg) hang-
ing on the seat or placed in the seat-back
pocket.
● A child seat or other object pressing against
the rear of the seat-back.
● A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the
back of the front passenger’s seat.
● The front seat or seat-back is forced back
against an object on the seat or floor behind
it.
● An object placed under the front passen-
ger’s seat.
● An object placed between the seat cushion
and center console or between door and
cushion.
If the vehicle is moving please come to a stop
when it is safe to do so. Check and correct any of
the above conditions. Restart the vehicle and
wait one minute. NOTE:
A system check will be performed during
which the passenger air bag status light
will remain lit for about 7 seconds initially.
If the light is still on after this, the vehicle should
be checked by an INFINITI retailer as soon as
possible.
2. If the light is ON with an adult occupying the front passenger seat:
● Occupant is a small adult →the air bag light
is functioning as intended. The front passen-
ger air bag is suppressed.
However, if the occupant is not a small adult, then
this may be due to the following conditions that
may be interfering with the weight sensors: ● Occupant is not sitting upright, leaning
against the seat back, and centered on the
seat cushion with feet comfortably extended
to the floor.
● A child seat or other object pressing against
the rear of the seat-back.
● A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the
back of the front passenger’s seat.
● The front seat or seat-back is forced back
against an object on the seat or floor behind
it.

ger seat:
This may be due to the following conditions that
may be interfering with the weight sensors: ● Small adult or child is not sitting upright,
leaning against the seat back, and centered
on the seat cushion with feet comfortably
extended to the floor. ●
The child restraint is not properly installed,
as outlined in the “Child restraints” section of
the Owner’s Manual.
● An object weighing over 2.2 lbs (1 kg) hang-
ing on the seat or placed in the seat-back
pocket.
● A child seat or other object pressing against
the rear of the seat-back.
● A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the
back of the front passenger’s seat.
● The front seat or seat-back is forced back
against an object on the seat or floor behind
it.
● An object placed under the front passen-
ger’s seat.
● An object placed between the seat cushion
and center console.
If the vehicle is moving please come to a stop
when it is safe to do so. Check and correct any of
the above conditions. Restart the vehicle and
wait one minute.
NOTE:
A system check will be performed during
which the passenger air bag status light
will remain lit for about 7 seconds initially. If the light is still OFF after this, the small adult,
child or child restraint should be repositioned in
the rear seat and the vehicle should be checked
by an INFINITI retailer as soon as possible.

rious damage to the engine almost imme-
diately. Such damage is not covered by
warranty. Turn off the engine as soon as it
is safe to do so.
Low tire pressure warning light
Your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS that moni-
tors the tire pressure of all tires except the spare.
The low tire pressure warning light warns of low
tire pressure or indicates that the TPMS is not
functioning properly.
After the ignition switch is placed in the ON
position, this light illuminates for about 1 second
and turns off.
Low tire pressure warning
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the warning light will illuminate.
A “Tire Press Low - Add Air” warning also
appears in the vehicle information display.
When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you should stop and adjust the
tire pressure of all four tires to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label located
in the driver’s door opening. The low tire
pressure warning light does not automati-
cally turn off when the tire pressure is ad-
justed. After the tire is inflated to the rec-
ommended pressure, the vehicle must be
driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h)
to activate the TPMS and turn off the low
tire pressure warning light. Use a tire pres-
sure gauge to check the tire pressure.
The “Tire Press Low - Add Air” warning appears

the tire pressure, a tire may be flat. If
you have a flat tire, replace it with a
spare tire as soon as possible.
● When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced tire pressure will not be in-
dicated, the TPMS will not function and
the low tire pressure warning light will
flash for approximately 1 minute. The
light will remain on after 1 minute. Con-
tact your INFINITI retailer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/or
system resetting. ●
Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the
proper operation of the TPMS.
CAUTION
● The TPMS is not a substitute for the
regular tire pressure check. Be sure to
check the tire pressure regularly.
● If the vehicle is being driven at speeds
of less than 25 km/h (16 MPH) , the
TPMS may not operate correctly.
● Be sure to install the specified size of

● Vehicle security system
● INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
The vehicle security system provides visual and
audible alarm signals if someone opens the
doors, liftgate or hood when the system is armed.
It is not, however, a motion detection type system
that activates when a vehicle is moved or when a
vibration occurs.
The system helps deter vehicle theft but cannot
prevent it, nor can it prevent the theft of interior or
exterior vehicle components in all situations. Al- ways secure your vehicle even if parking for a
brief period. Never leave your Intelligent Key in
the vehicle, and always lock the vehicle when
unattended. Be aware of your surroundings, and
park in secure, well-lit areas whenever possible.
Many devices offering additional protection, such
as component locks, identification markers, and
tracking systems, are available at auto supply
stores and specialty shops. Your INFINITI retailer
may also offer such equipment. Check with your
insurance company to see if you may be eligible
for discounts for various theft protection features.
How to arm the vehicle security
system
1. Close all windows and the moonroof.
The
system can be armed even if the win-
dows and moonroof are open.
2. Remove the Intelligent Key from the vehicle.
3. Close all doors, hood and liftgate. Lock all doors. The doors can be locked with the
Intelligent Key, door handle request switch
or power door lock switch.
